i dont have much of a place to directly talk about tumblr censoring feedism content because ive mostly saved some posts for the future, due to surgical fatphobia being an issue at the moment, and also posting some art in the tag.
i've just been thinking a lot about how people have been going to saying that they can't look at me as an insult in the last few months.
and that it's an interesting insult to use on someone who has been pretty open about feeling like shit about their chest stretchmarks, and decreased elastin in the chest that's wicked obvious even with top surgery. and working towards being more accepting of them. and being treated like body horror for not having a perfect body even in fatty circles.
and that i've been warned against drawing my old body type pre-surgery when i specifically stated that i wanted to give that body type more representation for others with it and was told it's unattractive. except i've seen plenty of people find it attractive when it's not on me. could be the stretchmarks again or could be someone who needs to read the room.
and while this one is unrelated to this exact topic it's been on my mind, the scar on my leg that Upsets Children In Public, that i've started drawing magsona with now. yeah. that too.
i'm pretty open that i care about all this. i had an extremely shit body image as a teen and it's only remnants now when people say things like how they can't look at me. but like. i would also like other people to be able to look at themselves and feel good. damn
like this is a fetish blog don't get me wrong, most of my regular body positive stuff is on main.
listen, what i'm saying is, my GP literally wrote me a doctors' note to give to another practice to stop telling me i need an obesity intervention because it's deeply offensive and not a term anyone uses (which, when clicked on, says there's no actual medical basis for this, and I need to consult my GP, who actually researched shit and looked at my numbers and spoke to me as a human being and went "lmao. lol.")
is tumblr staff wrapped so hard around its own caduceus that it needs a doctor's note. i can get her to underline the part where calling body fat and overeating but only when fat "self-harming" is offensive maybe 3, 4 times if you need. does my doctor's note cover everyone else, or...?
*caduceus used in place of asclepius very intentionally.
since you have machines running this now: doctor's note is a metaphor in the second paragraph about it, and you just fired most of the safety staff so your AI could do... this. instead of thinking human thoughts about things.
